The Castle

The Castle.
​A Bonnie Doon Pub Rock Musical!

After the success of re-writing the Life of Brian for the stage, two

years ago, MMuDS has decided to have a go at the Australian comedy classic, "The Castle".
Set in Bonnie Doon, the story will include all 
your favourite characters and well known quotes from the original, but with a sequel story line involving the next generation of Kerrigans and their children. The nextgen family move to live under the power-lines at Bonnie Doon, but run into the same "compulsory acquisition" court battles as their parents, with lots of surprises along the way, and a twist in the tail at the end.
The actors will be backed by a Pub Rock Band led by Rolf Koren. Home grown videos will also be a feature of this show..
